Last updated on October 31, 2015. 

 

My Virtual Kingdom, located at www.myvirtualkingdom.com (the “Site”), is brought to you by your friends at i360 Studios, LLC.  The terms “we,” “our” and “us” below refer to i360 Studios.

 

Please read this Privacy Policy and the Site Terms of Use before using the Site.  By registering with, viewing, or using the Site you are agreeing to the Terms of Use, which incorporate this Privacy Policy.

 

Your privacy is very important to us.  This Privacy Policy explains the limited information we collect and what we do with it.  If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy you may contact us as indicated under the “Comments and Questions” section below or by using the “Contact Us” feature of the Site.

 

We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time and the modifications become effective when we post them on the Site.  Please review this Privacy Policy regularly to ensure you are aware of any changes. 

 

Information We Collect if You Do Not Register to use the Site

Many Site features may be used without registering to use the Site.  If you visit the Site and have not registered, we do not log information from your session.

 

Information We Collect if you Register to use the Site

 

The use of certain Site features requires prior registration.  If you are under the age of 13, your parent or legal guardian must complete the registration for you.  When you register with the Site we ask for

 

• an e-mail address
• a userid that you create
• a proposed name for the character the user will assume within the Site
• the gender you want for your character
• a password that you create
• optionally, the user’s birth month and day

 

For users under the age of 13, we ask for the parent’s or legal guardian’s e-mail address rather than the child’s.   

 

The only personally identifiable information we store is the e-mail address that is provided during registration.  If an e-mail address is provided when making an inquiry using the “Contact Us” feature of the Site, we respond to the inquiry and delete the e-mail address.

 

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information of children under the age of 13.  If we discover that a person under the age of 13 has provided any personally identifiable information, we will delete that information from our system.

How We Use the Limited Information We Collect

 

We use the e-mail address provided during registration to confirm the registration.  This process is intended to ensure parents are aware of a child’s use of the portions of the Site that require registration and to prevent computer programs (Internet bots) from registering with the Site.  We may also use the e-mail address to send periodic information regarding features of the Site, to send a Site newsletter, and to respond to inquiries.  We will not use your e-mail address to send you or to allow others to send you third-party advertising.

 

If you are a parent or guardian of a user under the age of 13 and you do not want your child to use the portions of the Site that require registration, you may simply refrain from responding to the registration confirmation request.

 

All e-mail communications that we send out will

 

• include accurate header and accurate and specific subject line information
• include a clear indication that we are the sender

 

If you do not wish to receive e-mail communications from us after your registration is confirmed you may “opt-out” when you register or by following the opt-out instructions included in any communication from us.  You may also at any time opt-out of receiving further e-mail communications, or cancel your registration, by contacting us as indicated under the “Comments and Questions” section below or by using the “Contact Us” feature of the Site.

 

Use of Cookies

 

Some Web sites place small data files, sometimes referred to as "cookies," on a user’s hard drive to store user information between visits.  We do not store cookies on a user’s hard drive.

 

How Payments are Processed

 

Payment of a small monthly fee is required to use some Site features.  Payments are processed using the PayPal service and we do not collect any credit card or other payment information.  Personally identifiable payment information is collected by PayPal and is subject to PayPal’s privacy policies.  PayPal does not share this information with us.  Users of the portions of the Site that require payment are encouraged to visit http://www.paypal.com to review Paypal’s privacy policy.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise transfer any of your personally identifiable information to third parties.  This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating the Site, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.  We may also release information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law or to prevent a violation of law, in the course of legal proceedings, in response to the request of a law enforcement authority or a subpoena or other legal process, to enforce Site policies, or to protect our or others’ rights, property or safety.  We do not expect any of these circumstances to apply, but if they do apply you hereby consent to these disclosures.

 

California Online Privacy Protection Act Compliance and Reviewing and Updating Personal Information

 

Because we value your privacy we have taken the necessary precautions to be in compliance with the California Online Privacy Protection Act.  We therefore will not distribute personal information to outside parties without your consent.  As part of the California Online Privacy Protection Act, all users of our site may review and update any personal information provided during the registration process by accessing their account or by contacting us as indicated under the “Comments and Questions” section below or by using the “Contact Us” feature of the Site.

 

External Links

If the Site links to websites outside the Site, those websites do not operate under this Privacy Policy.  We recommend that you examine the privacy statements posted on those other websites to understand their procedures for collecting, using and disclosing personal information.

 

Player Communication Features and Monitoring

The Site contains a chat feature that allows registered users to communicate with one another.  For the safety of our users and to maintain a wholesome environment on the Site, user communications are filtered using a limited dictionary, which prevents the posting of words not present in the dictionary.  This is intended to prevent, for example, the posting of obscenities and the posting of personal information such as street numbers and phone numbers, but we cannot guarantee that these procedures will eliminate all objectionable content or personal information.  We do not use or disclose users’ e-mail addresses in connection with these features.  Our personnel may from time to time monitor and review these communications, however we do not attempt to monitor every communication and we make no commitment that we will do so.  We reserve the right to censor, edit, remove, or prohibit the transmission, receipt or posting of any information that we deem in our sole and absolute discretion to be inappropriate or in violation of Site policies.  We also may record or copy these communications and you hereby consent to this recording and copying.  For further information regarding monitoring, please refer to the Terms of Use.
